The Marriage of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) In Sports is Revolutionizing the Sector; Sports
Media, Sports Wearables, Fantasy Sports, Sports Trading Fund all
Integrating AI
Stocks Mentioned: (TSX.V: $BKD.V) (OTCPINK: $BKDCF), ($YHOO), ($DIS), ($FOX)
Point Roberts, WA, May 25, 2017 Investorideas.com, a global news
source and investor resource covering sports stocks and technology
stocks including artificial intelligence looks at how AI is
revolutionizing the sports sector.
In sports media AI is changing how content is created. Should
sports writers be fearful hearing news last year that Associated
Press was using AI to write Minor League Baseball articles? Robo-
journalism is a reality according to a report in Wired.com. "Fox
(FOX) auto-generates some sports recaps that appear on its Big Ten
Network site, while Yahoo (YHOO) uses similar technology to create
fantasy sports reports custom-made for each of its users.
From a case study report from the Wordsmith platform from
Automated Insights, it shows how it creates personalized narratives
for millions of Yahoo fantasy football users.
The Automated Insights Wordsmith platform uses natural language
generation to transform raw fantasy football data into draft
reports, match previews, and match recaps. The platform generates
millions of stories each week, essentially giving every fantasy
owner a personalized sports reporter writing about their team.
Even though the stories are produced at a speed and scale that
would be impossible for human writers, McFarland says [its] not
especially obvious that they were generated by a computer. In fact,
Yahoo asked AI to give its reports a particularly snarky tone for
the 2014-15 season.

"While many other digital publishers are struggling to adapt to
the 'new rules of the game' on Facebook, GIVEMESPORT continues its
growth of its 26 million sports fans on Facebook, firstly by
executing its plan, and secondly by utilising its proprietary
social media distribution technology that gives GIVEMESPORT a real
competitive advantage in this space," said Nick Thain, CEO.
"The growth in our Facebook audience is because of our tech-led,
data-driven approach and we expect this to further accelerate as we
integrate Breaking Data's Artificial Intelligence across the key
areas of GIVEMESPORT," added Mr. Thain.
Sports teams are exploring how AI can strategize and play a role
in live sports and sports teams. According to http://sciencenetlinks.com "Oregon State University
computer scientist Alan Fern and his colleagues want to make
artificial intelligence that can analyze complex visual scenes. So
they programmed a computer to track football passing plays, learn
from them, and create new ones."

Artificial Intelligence is also entering the Sport Wearables
market. In November 2016 PIQ, a leading French start-up in sports
wearables announced in a press release a breakthrough innovation
with the introduction of a genuine Artificial Intelligence
interface dedicated to sports activities. After 2 years of R&D
and 13m investments, PIQs 50 engineers developed a revolutionary
technology, protected by 10 international patents allowing it to
identify athletes Winning Factors, highlighting the key strengths
they should leverage on to succeed.
Cdric Mangaud, CEO and co-founder, declared: With GAIA and the
Winning Factors, sports wearables enter a new paradigm. Our
technology enables athletes, not only to measure their performance,
but also to benefit from personalized advice and get closer to
victory. Our goal is now to integrate this technology in sport
devices to offer athletes a fully integrated experience.
And now sports and AI are joining in the financial markets with
a new fund. "Stratagem (http://www.stratagem.co) is
reimagining sports trading by leveraging science and technology to
turn it into an alternative asset class. We believe that with our
unique approach the sports trading market will become an appealing
and profitable arena for investment."
"We created StrataBet and StrataSport to deliver our experience
and expertise to the world. Our intelligent predictive models,
detailed analytical content and multiple liquidity streams provide
a revolutionary view of the sports trading market."
And now the entrance into fantasy sports with sportsQ (http://sportsq.net). sportsQ is an Artificial

Information and Social Media platform. It provides both daily and
season-long Fantasy Sports Players, avid Sports Fans and those who
